专家简介：
(1) Sune Vork Steffensen
Sune Vork Steffensen is a guest professor of South China Agricultural University. He is Professor of Interpersonal Communication and Cognition at the University of Southern Denmark. Having written a PhD in linguistics at University of Aarhus, he took up his current position at the University of Southern Denmark in 2008. In 2012 he became the founding director of the Centre for Human Interactivity, which investigates how language, social organization, and cognition intersect in complex social and dialogical systems. His research interests include: interaction and interactivity; ecological, dialogical and distributed approaches to language and interaction; the functioning of cognitive ecosystems. He has pioneered the Cognitive Event Analysis, a qualitative method for studying distributed cognitive processes in cognitive systems consisting of individuals, dyads or teams, working in complex social and material environments. In recent years, he has co-edited volumes on dialectical linguistics (Continuum, 2007), biosemiotics and health interaction (Braga University Press, 2010), the distributed dynamics of language (Language Sciences, 2012), and ecolinguistics (Language Sciences, 2014). Since July 2015 he has been acting as Editor in Chief of the journal Language Sciences.
(2) Stephen Cowley
Stephen Cowley is Professor of Organisational Cognition at the University of Southern Denmark. Having completed a Cambridge PhD entitled “The Place of Prosody in Conversations”, he moved to South Africa. There his academic focus gradually shifted from Linguistics to Cognitive Science and the implications of the ecological crisis. He has held positions in Linguistics (Durban), Psychology (Durban, Bradford and Hertfordshire) and Language & Communication (Slagelse, Denmark). His empirical work examines prosodic, kinesic and verbal interactions within families, between mothers and infants, with robots, in medical simulations and in peer-review. In tracing intelligent activity to agent-environment interactions, he has expertise in problem finding, decision making and how people and organisations range in time by bringing the past to current and future concerns.
Together with Nigel Love, he founded the Distributed Language Group in 2004. The DLG community aims to transform the language sciences by tracing what is human to the directed, dialogical activity that shapes the collective dimension of language. In 2012, he co-founded the International Society for the study of Interactivity, Language and Cognition, an international community that holds biennial conferences. His papers span topics such as prosody, developmental psychology, social robotics and pursue foundational work on how the bio-ecology shapes language and cognition. Papers include: (a) Linguistic embodiment and verbal constraints (Frontiers in Psychology, 2015); (b) Bio-ecology and language: a necessary unity (Language Sciences, 2014); (c) Taking a language stance (Ecological Psychology, 2011); and (d) Grounding signs of culture (Mind, Culture and Activity, 2004). He is on the Editorial Board of 6 journals (including ones from Russia and China) and has edited/co-edited 12 Special Issues as well as the volumes: Distributed Language (2001, Benjamins), Cognition Beyond the Brain: Computation, Interactivity and Human Artifice (2013, Springer; 2nd Edition, 2017) and Biosemiotic Perspectives on Language and Linguistics (2015, Springer).
